NYC 2-8-2 #1439 - New York Central |
| Description: |
Missing its bell, whistle and whitelined its number all tells the sad tale that it sits in a scrap line at the Proviso yard in Proviso, IL. Built by Lima in September of 1916 as NYC 3939, it was renumbered in August of 1936 to NYC #1439. The loco lasted until being retired in June of 1954 and sold for scrap in October of 1954. An unknown photographer took probably what is its last photo. |

Definitely on a scrap line with its main drive removed and its number crossed out, this NYC Mikado's days are numbered. No date or location were given for this photo. Forrest Trittenbach photo. With Paul Woods help (see comment below), this loco was built by Lima in August of 1924 as one of the H-10B class locos for the NYC. |
